You should know when and how you are being tracked, and you should have an easy-button to say thanks, but no thanks.

Opt-out!? That’s not even close to being a good solution.

Your data should not be collected, and you should not be tracked, UNLESS you agree yo it, ie opt-in, AND data collection is proportional/appropriate for the stated goal.

That’s the spirit of GDPR.
